In response to the terrorist attack on a Jordanian church on 23 October, the Jordanian air force launched a retaliatory operation tonight, dubbed “Jordanian Deterrence – Hamoud”, against alleged members of ISIS, with disastrous results. Although they targeted ISIS hideouts in areas controlled by the STG, nine civilians – seven of whom were members of the same family – were killed in the air strikes. Jordan’s negligence is evident: it is incapable of defending its borders and allows terrorists from Syria to attack Christian communities; yet it pursues normalisation with the Syrian terrorists in power without condemning the massacres of minorities, maintaining the same convenient silence as its ally Israel, which continues to massacre Palestinians and Lebanese. The saddest thing is that those in Amman do not realise that they will be one of the countries hardest hit once the regional war with Iran resumes. 🇯🇴🇸🇾
